The Zikawei Library by Wutopia Lab in Shanghai
The story of the Zikawei Library in Shanghai is a tale of intelligent reuse, as the building was originally designed as a bookstore by David Chipperfield Architects. Immediately after the completion of the façade and the structure, it remained empty. However, at the city's will and thanks to the intervention of the Wutopia Lab studio, it has recently become the iconic public library of the Zikawei district.

While his works usually narrate cities with "WanderWorld", instead, he explored the new "urban landscapes".
